with many species of fish year round.  For more

details see the Presence of Fish table.

The water around Cedros and San Benitos Islands is nutrient-

rich, thanks to upwellings of cold water from the deep ocean.

This attracts marine creatures from small to large, moving up the food chain.

Many large game fish and mammals are attracted to this area for its

abundant sources of food.
